Evidently you can read. It seems that many of the immobile wounded or sick were abandoned in El Paso and on the trail back into New Mexico.

Your problem obviously stems from your misinterpretation of my usage of the word "capture." We have been over this before. I used the word in the sense of a common defination: to take control of or seize. To "capture" may, does not necessarily, imply the use of force. One can capture prisoners. And one can capture an objective. One can capture an object by simply occupying it.

I cannot account for your miscomprehension and stubborn insistance of your own misinterpretation. Your continued filibustering the point shows, yet again, that you are not a poster who is serious about discussing or debating issues. You are a waste of my time.

"You do not know for certain what killed the one single corpse found at the fort."

I presume it was the arrow sticking out of him.

Already discussed in our previous conversation. The subject of this one is Fort Davis, or have you forgotten?

I only intepret it in its common usage. You, on the other hand, interpret it much like John Kerry interprets the war in Iraq - nuanced, self contradictory, and ever-changing to suit your personal convenience at the present moment.

I asked you a simple question about your claim yet you cannot even answer it, thus demonstrating the truth of what I just said. Who did they "capture" the fort from, capitan? Answer that and put the matter to rest.
